11. QUALITY EDUCATION
Quality Education speaks about:
• Stimulates interest & creative thinking:
• Focus on application of knowledge instead of rote learning
technique
Factors:
• Households
• Teachers
• Learning environment
• Other miscellaneous factors
Indicators: Student-teacher ratio and Enrolment ratio

12. RESULT I
• Impact of distance over Student-teacher ratio
Statistical instrument: Co-relation coefficient (r)
r = -0.1417
T calculated = -1.64
T table = -1.67 T calc> T table (hence significant)
SAMPLE
• Data of 130 villages were considered from different blocks
• Homogeneity: Villages with varying distance
BLOCK Condition Distance Range Example
Ganganagar Good 5-30 K.m Fatuhi and Kaalia
Padampur Average 35-90 K.m 36BB, 6MLD,, 9KD,
39RB
Gharsana Poor 120-180 K.m 7MLD, 9MLD ,2GMB

13. RESULT II
Indicator: Enrolment ratio
Conducted Student-T test
Hypothesis: Difference in Enrolment ratio in different blocks
Results: T calc<T table (hence, Insignificant)
t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means

15. OBSERVATION II
• Lack of Required no. of teachers
• Allotment of teachers: No subject wise allotment
• Lack of motivation amongst teachers
• Principal-Agent problem
Possible Reason: a) Information Asymmetry
b) Conflict of Ideas
• Possible Solution
a) Reward system(spill over impact)
b) Monitoring & Vigilance
c) Better use of Training program

16. COMPONENTS OF SSA
Component Observation Conclusion/
Changes Proposed
LEHAR Self-directed learning; teacher
as facilitator; learning by doing
Soon to shut down
CALP Use of technology; e-content
for students
+ feedback from teachers
as well as students;
teaching of computers is
still to be added
CCE Track of all-round progress of
student.
Easy assessment for Parents
and teachers
Recently added; Positive
feedback
LIBRARY Mostly closed; books kept in
stack; used as store room
Effective use of library
period and books in there
Target: Impart Quality education within time constraint

17. SCHOOL VISITS
LEHAR CLASSESCALP CLASSES
EFFICIENT USE OF SCHOOL WALL

18. COMPONENTS OF SSA
Component Observation Conclusion/Changes
Proposed
MIGRATORY HOSTELS At Gharsana and Rawla
village
Presently not functional
NPEGEL Motivate parents; impetus
to students
Reward system effective
but presently not working
TOURS Activity based Very few tours; that too for
reserved category only
Aanganbadi Pre primary education &
Nutrition
Use the centers as
alternative for nursery, LKG
UKG
SMC- School Management
Committee
Increase Parents
participation also acts as
third party vigilance
Very effective
Target: Prevent Dropout

19. LONG TERM CHANGE
Currently:
• Outcomes are not proportional to the investment
• Expenditure Increased but results not getting better
• Lack of motivation amongst teachers
Alternative:
• INSPECTION & INCENTIVES
• READING HABITS: Makes students self-dependent
• Reading is at the heart of all learning
• Increase in attention span; develops life-long love for books;
thirst for knowledge;
• DEVELOP COMMUNITY CENTER:
Make efficient use of the existing resources i.e. merge resources:
Library + CALP + New required resource

20. PARADIGM SHIFT
PRESENT STRUCTURE NEW MODEL
Monitoring difficult Less time & resource required
Schools in close vicinity; No distance problem 1 school for 10 villages; need of bus facility
Uneven TSR Balanced TSR
No Hostel facility & less extra-curricular
activities
Hostel facility sustainable; Extra curricular
works on large scale
Internet facility may be unsustainable Sustainable; Video conferencing
Management: ten personals for 10 school
also problem of clerical staff exists
Less no. of personals required hence can
select efficient ones
Current: Schools in every village: around 1138 Primary schools &
1089 Upper Primary schools
Alternative: One School covering a radius of 10 K.m.

21. PARADIGM SHIFT
• One to one interaction still maintained because of balanced
Teacher-Student ratio
• Wish for private schools: New model satisfies
• Inter-community interaction increases
• Active parents: Efficient SMC & participation increased
• DATA ANALYSIS
5 groups: Each containing 10 schools
TSR earlier: unevenly distributed (Ex: 33,16,0,9,13,27)
TSR Final : Around 20 (this number is closer to the government
norms regarding teacher-student ratio)

22. Pictorial representation: Facilities given to parents
but education is a distant dream
